An effective log line - short, catchy, intriguing - is a key to enticing others to take a look at your script. However, writing a great log line isn't as easy as it looks, so to help you get more attention for your scripts, we created the Logline Hospital, powered by our friends at Script Pipeline. Each week, Script Pipeline will pick two needy loglines from the scripts with the most votes and give them an Extreme Makeover, Talentville style.

No scripts are currently entered, so if you have a script that you think could use a Logline rewrite, enter it for just $5 TalentDollars.

Then, get all your friends to vote for it, and maybe yours will be chosen for a makeover.

The waiting room is currently empty.

Be sure to look through the nominated log lines and vote for the ones you think are most in need of a stay in the Logline Hospital.
